For zero copy, the xdp_buff is freed by xdp_convert_buff_to_frame()
when converting the xdp_xdp to xdp_frame. So STMMAC_XSK_CONSUMED
means the xdp_buff has been freed, it tells stmmac_rx_zc() no to free a
xdp_buff that has been freed.

I have added a comment for STMMAC_XSK_CONSUMED, see

+       } else if (res == STMMAC_XDP_CONSUMED && zc) {
+               /* xdp has been freed by xdp_convert_buff_to_frame(),
+                * no need to call xsk_buff_free() again, so return
+                * STMMAC_XSK_CONSUMED.
+                */
+               res = STMMAC_XSK_CONSUMED;
+               xdp_return_frame(xdpf);
+       }
